okay, i just ordered the H&R cup kit along with my rims (19x8.5 & 19x9.5)

and before i attempt to install it on my car, I was just wondering what was the perfect combination of spring pads (front and back) that went along with the cup kit

Sorry but I tried using search but most of the posts were outdated so most or all of the pix didnt work

so if possible, for those with the cup kit installed can you please post pix of your car and mention what spring pads (front and rear) you are using

no gap or just a "even tiny gap" is the look im pretty much going for

thanks again for the help guys, and ill definitely post pix when my car is all done

 

it all depends on how low you want to go???

i have numebr 1's all around with the cupkit and the front is slighty lower then the rear which i like.......you can go with number 1 in the rear with a number 3 in the front and it'll be even all around........

 

will i need to roll my fenders if i go #1's all around?, because as much as possible i dont want to roll them, BUT if i need to, will just #2's in the front be enough for it not to rub

also just SOMETIMES i ride with alot of passengers in my car, so will the #1 pads all around hold up in the back or will it scrape the fenderwall (only in the back) and this is just when i have a full load of people in the car

sorry for the questions, but this is the only thing that is holding me back

thanks

also pix would be nice if possible

 

do a search of my car, i don't have good pics right now but it's the white one in the bottom of my sig....the rear i havn't had problem but you do need to roll the fenders.....i had it rolled with stock number 5's and i was okay but since i have number 1's i have to shave the fenders soon due to rubbin........

 

Will it be okay if I go with #2 pads all around? I think i seen a silver w210 and Im not really too sure but I THINK he said he has #2 pads all around and i really liked that look. I think hes the silver one in your sig cuz he had carrlson rims too.

 

that used to be jimmy's ride, i believe he had number 1's in the rear and 2 in the front, still you have to roll the fenders........

 

okay I give up, since u said #3 in the front and #1 in the back will give it that even look.....will it still rub if I go that route?........please tell me no cuz that means i gotta shell out more cash.......heh....

thanks alot for your help alex

 

no problem man, where here to help.......i didn't try that set-up but the pads don't cost much, just the labor to change them but roll your fenders and try it, i think you'll have no problems....

 

okay then, imma go with #1's in the back and #3 in the front, I think it'll still look dropped but if it does rub then ill have no choice but to roll the fenders.....



thanks
